If MS-Windows can't install itself on the first drive (as seen by the BIOS eg /dev/hda(1) or /dev/sda(1)), it won't install.

I think it can install the system to the other drive, but it will want to write the bootloader on the first drive. Which makes sense.

*MS-Windows*

(AFAIK) simply won't install itself anyplace but C: (at least for the core system).

You confuse that. Windows will name the system partition as C:, but that doesn't mean you can install it only on the first partition. If you have four primary partitions you can install four versions of Windows.
